'What occasion is there for words, when things speak for themselves with such • pershesiee energy ? Your houses are demolished, your temples laid / in ashes, your fields ravaged, your . familieS. diss' per.-ed; or hurried to the grave. Shall we hese made ' so many sacrifices, shall the thirties of mar have colt slimed. one e helf of Spain, in order that we should ,shamefully abandon the-other half to that muesli more destructive peace which awaits it at the hands of the enemy ? Surely, nobody con be the dupe of the insiclions parade of reform which the French held . forth .in their- Proclamations. The Tarter, who governs them, has decreed that Spain shall have neither industly, nor, commerce, nor colonies, ' nor population, eor any political representation whatever: To be turned into ,a vast 'and solitary sheep-walk, in order to breed flocks' which shall supply the French mateufaeltires ' with . our' valuable wools; to form a nursery of home. beings, to be hurried away to slaughter; misery, ruin, degraded titan; in every part of the PeninSula :---siach is the fate to .which he consigns the country the Most 'fa= • veered of • heaven. of any/upon earth !

The action of Ocana commenced in a manner which affoidecl every, hone of a' favnnrable issue ; the soldiers repeatedly promised the General' in Chief not to forsake him, and every thing bore the most glorious aspect. The division of Lacy repulsed the enemy several times with 'fixed bayonets, and behaved with the_utmost gallantry; but at the very moment when victory seemed to be ours, one of those unfortunate acci dents which render the fate at arms so precarious' and uncertain; • snatched it from our hands. The guards, the battalion of Murcia, the Carbineers, and some other regiments, performed prodigies of valour. Our army of La Mancha behaved most gallantly in the bWle of Ocana ; a'nd after having made great havoc among the enemy's hoops - , and sustained very, corisideiable losses, it fell back ,to the ,banks of the . Guadiana.. It will probably rally on that point, and' make head against the enemy, whoin the say*, loss be has suffered will perhaps prevent from attack ing us .again. - The two parks of artillery which are attached - to the two divisions of our army.nfLa Mancha have ar rived safe, at the head-quarters in Carolina, without one single carriage being missing.. .
